You hit the nail on the head. One way or another, any changes should be rewarding - either an upgrade to something resembling an auto parts chain, or the entertainment from them trying to cheapen or deteriorate the focus even more.

Pep boys ruled back in the 90s - early 2000 when all the ricers where in there buying up homemade intakes, [censored] can exhaust tips, and neon lights that they would stick EVERYWHERE!
Those days are pretty much long gone with the majority of the tuner scene now focused on producing "Clean" rides.

What the heck is a chotchkie? It sounds funny as heck and I am now going to use the word at least once per day.
There's one in my area. It turned into a version of "Chinese Freight". Last time I was in there they had piles of inventory not even unpacked. The place looked like it was about to close for good. I'm glad Amazon is around.

(see also tchotchkie): trinket, gew-gaw, junk. Basically something that takes up space and provides little value.

chotchkie's was also the name given to the restaurant where Jennifer Aniston worked in the movie "Office Space". Now I see more of the implied humor to that...
I went into a Pep Boys down in the LA area last weekend and nearly died laughing when i saw they had the new bottles of GC for 9.19 a bottle. Even with working where I work, I was shocked by that.

Yup, don't forget the required pieces of "flair"....

Yes, it is 'Swahili' for the above (actually Yiddish

Sometimes, I am even hesitant to wear either my red or blue caps into my local Pep Boyzz (for fear of being shot, even though I look NOTHING LIKE a 'homey G'

Sounds a lot like the one by me.
Its a relatively new building but they uglied up the place a few years ago with this dismal black paint scheme inside, dropped most of the quality merchandise, jacked up the prices, and still mananged to run the old, but useful, RS-Strauss Auto out of business across the street.
They must make the big money on their auto repair business.
